A Cruel Hoax in Brazil.

A criminal trial arising out of hoax
has just been concluded. A Portuguese
merchant here was crazy to become a
Baron, and one day mounted soldier
dressed like a Minister'S orderly came
10 his house and delivered to him a
large sealed envelope, bearing the
official 2. s., on opening which he
found the long-sighed-for letters patent
appointing him Baron de Villa RIGA.
Overjoyed, he summoned all his rela-
tives and friends to a grand banquet,
with rockets, band, toasts and speeches,
and assumed truly noble and baron
ial demeanor. But when he went to
pay the taxes that have to be
satisfied before public use of the title
he discovered that he had been the
victim of an elaborate hoax. The en-
ragged pseudo-Baron fixed his suspicious
on a party to whom he had lent three
thousand milreis, in the belief that he
had influence at court, and had him
arrested for swindling. However, the
jury seemed to think the joke too good
a one to be looked on seriously and
acquitted the. accused.-Rto Janeiro

"Then," said Brother AGREE, "your hat has
more brains in it than ever before"
A few days after that DIR. Harmon was
passing by Brother AGREES yard gate, and
when urged TO come in, he said:

"You can't preach" replied Brother AGREE.

completed, . track laid on it and cars
were crossing it.
The electric light plant, composed Of
apparatus for generating the electricity,
with six lamps of 1000 candle power
each, distributed at convenient points 10
the quarries and on the dam, furnish light
for force of workmen ct night, so that
work never ceases, aud, metsphOrically
speaking, the enterprise never sleeps.
When completed aud full, the dam
will contain in round numbers $4,000,

up the Hasssyamps . distance of two
miles, up Arsstra creek one and one
fourth miles, Miunehaha three fourths of =

at the mouth of Arastrs creek, about one

about two square miles, while the water
itself will cover an erea Of $50 acres. The
weight of the dam itself will he between
